If you have high nitrite and nitrate, the best thing you can do for them is water changes. Wcs every 2 or more days is not going to do much to help. Start with 50% with temperature matched, properly conditioned water. Wait an hour and do another 50%. Wait atleast half an hour and test your paramters. If they are still high, you will need to continue doing 50% wcs until you can bring them down to as close to zero as possible. Using a good water conditioner such as Prime will help to limit toxicity. Fry are very sensitive to their water conditions and any level of toxins will affect them so your going to need to stay on top of frequent testing and wcs (atleast daily, likely more often). Good luck!
